| description | The article draws attention to important elements of contemporary popular
culture of two Far Easter countries – Japan and South Korea. Japan has the original
kawaii culture; South Korea has the hallyu culture. Over recent years, products of both
Japanese and Korean popular culture have been massively exported and consumed
throughout East and Southeast Asia. The expansion of cute kawaii creativity in the form
of Japanese animated films, comics, including Hello Kitty and Pokemon characters
allowed this culture to appear in the USA and Europe (also in Poland), causing an
international phenomenon called “pink globalization”. The “Korean Wave” (hallyu),
based mainly on the expansion of pop music and television dramas, attracted similar
interest. The aim of the article is to analyze, using a qualitative research paradigm, the
importance of kawaii and hallyu culture in building the international position of Japan
and South Korea, perceived today as local civil powers. Both the Japanese and Korean
governments use popular culture in their cultural diplomacy as soft power, as defined
by American political scientist Joseph S. Nye. The researcher concluded that soft power,
unlike hard power, is the power of attraction, “seduction”, which consists in the
attractiveness of the culture of the entity controlling the preferences of others. |
